ROUXBE Beta – Video Recipes

If you can spare a few minutes check out a wonderful video based recipe web site that has just launched called ROUXBE Beta.

I’m sure a wife, husband, son, daughter and even the professional rank and file of the Foodservice Industry could benefit from a visit to this refreshing web site.
